NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"And so, gentlemen of the Jury,
the Crown will prove that the defen-
dants had a motive for the murder of
this Siwash, and did in £act kill
him,"
The Crown Prosecutes, Wade, cast
a heavy -lidded, mordant stare at the
jury and sat down. By contrast, Gar-
net, at an adjoining .table nearer the
prisoner's dock, looked like an ure
bane courtier.
The arrival of one of the first up-
river steamers, some weeks before,
had provided the accused men with
their distinguished counsel. Garnet's
mission in the North had proved to
he a political one. Learning, when
he landed of the charge against
the two partners, he had offered to
undertake their defense.
'Maitland looked older for the two
months of prison life that had elaps-
ed since his. arrest. The shadowed
look in his eyes, however, was not
wholly due to the ordeal ahead of
him; it came from one that was past.
A weather-beaten man he had nev-
er scan was being sworn in. Garnet

secret. As was proved."
Garnet, after a brief address to
the jury as to the •circumstantial na-
ture of the -evidence, called the first,
and . so far as was known, the only
witness for the defense,
Pete was unmistakably a very at-
tractive girl; to this crowd of hard -
living men she was something more
rare and gracious than -the words con-
vey, or than may be imagined .by
any but men who have lived in Irons
tier mining camps.
"Had you ever seen the defendants
before they arrived in Skagway?"
Garnet asked.
"No, sir."
,,`''What was Owens' relation to
you?"
"I suppose you would call himmy
foster father. I was raised at his
ranch."
"Did he ever speak to you of your
real father?"
"Only once. He spoke then as if
Dalton was my father. Or anyway
some near kin of mine."
"What did you do after Owens
died?"
"I went over the pass to find Dal-
ton and warn him. I •sold a gold -
mounted gun and some things I had
for grub, and rode down . the lakes
looking for him. I didn'tfind any-
one waiting, and didn't have much to
go on, not even knowing what DaI-
ton looked like. When the cold came,
I met a rafting outfit who camped to
cut timber a little way up the Teslin,
and they gave me a job cooking for
them through the winter."
"Why did you leave them?" Gar-
net prompted.

Van
Says:
One of the most successful salesmen of this time, Mr. Billy. Van,
says that successful salesmanship is simply the application of show-
manship to merchandising."
"The secret of success in acting is to rehearse and rehearse and
rehouse until you have created an unforgettable impression upon the
mind of the actor. He then lives his part. His sincerity enables las
audience to live it with hint, Of course, the play must be good. It
gets^ you nowhere to have people say, `Billy Van was great, but the
show was rotten;" Similarly you must have a good product, and be -
tame you are talking to a precession and nota standing crowd, your
advertising must be insistent and persistent. You must rehearse
and rehease and:rehease if both the show and the actors—the product
andand the actors—are to get their message across—to create the
unforgettable impression.
"There is no such thing as sales resistance to quality merchan-
dise at the right price," said Mr. Van. "The secret of salesman
ship is to give as much as possible for as little as possible."
